THERE IS ONLY GOD'S WILL...EVER

[The following is a reworked reprint of my blog of March 20, 2012.]

I am a believer that it is not until we accept that we each must do what we must do, with its warts and all, that we start to walk free in our own head.

For instance, I have made peace with the fact that I am not an overly thoughtful person. It was a great relief to me when I finally accepted that about myself. I was spending way too much time beating me up about it...not changing, not becoming more thoughtful, just coloring me ugly on the occasions that I thought of it.

Acceptance is not found by a simple "please and thanks ever so" and moving on, a freebie as it were. Acceptance asks fairly hard work of us...the work being in detaching from our own ideas, divorcing our self from our own opinions, a.k.a., changing our mind, letting go of self-determined objectives...asking God what He has in mind, in short.

There it is: Acceptance comes through the search for spiritual solutions...not solutions that will benefit self only, but solutions that will benefit others and us...and sometimes not us at all, but always others, in which case we get the bennie, i.e., a heart at peace, the golden core of acceptance.

The solution to self-centered fear is in accepting that our perceived problem has no solution...for there is no problem. There is only God's will...ever. Seek that until we find it, and there's our peace.

Seek and ye shall find.

Thank you.
